Mr. Mumo Matemu, MBS
Commission Chairperson
xi
am glad to present the Ethics & Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Annual Report for
the financial year 2013/2014. This Report is prepared pursuant to Section 27 of the
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act, 2011.
Corruption poses serious challenges to the attainment of the Kenya Vision 2030. To this
end, Kenya has put in place measures to combat and prevent corruption and unethical
practices. The Commission formulated and launched its strategic plan 2013-2018 to
guide anti-corruption efforts in the country. The Plan outlines measures to ensure an
effective, efficient and ethical public service. The Plan also provides measures to address
corruption and unethical practices associated with devolved system of governance in
Kenya.
During the financial year, in order to attain its strategic goals and objectives, the
Commission continued to build its capacity in terms of human resources and regional
presence. At the regional and international level, the Commission strengthened
partnerships and coalitions to enhance the fight against corruption. The Chairperson of
the Commission was elected to serve as the President of East Africa Association of AntiCorruption Authorities (EAAACA) for a period of 2 years.
Going forward, the Commission will work closely with relevant public institutions to fasttrack the development of the national ethics and anti-corruption policy, strengthening of
the anti-corruption legal and institutional framework and expand its services across the
country.
I call upon all Kenyans and stakeholders to individually and collectively make a conscious
decision not to participate in, or tolerate corruption in any of its facets and spheres.
Tukomeshe Ufisadi, Tuijenge Kenya!
Thank you

Institutional Capacity
In the 2013/2014, the Commission was allocated Kenya Shillings 1,245,066,500 in the
Printed Estimates to finance its operations. In the same period, the Commission recruited
an additional 59 staff members to its establishment stand at 264 by the end of the year.
The Commission undertook a Job Evaluation to guide its capacity development. Further,
the Commission continued to modernize its operational environment through automation.
Challenges
The Commission faced a number of challenges in the implementation of its mandate.
These included human resource constraints, inadequate policy and legal framework, slow
judicial processes and limited reach across the country for anti-corruption services. To
surmount these challenges, we look forward to working closely with our stakeholders and
Kenyans in general to make Kenya a corruption free society that upholds integrity and
the rule of law.
Finally, I wish to thank all Kenyans for their support and involvement in the fight against
corruption. Further, I appreciate the support, dedication and commitment of the EACC
staff in discharging the Commissions mandate.

iv) Advisory to the Mombasa Law Courts
An advisory was provided to the Mombasa Law Courts on addressing corruption and
unethical practices within its operations. The advisory also entailed an assessment of the
courts systems to identify corruption prone areas. A report containing recommendations
on addressing corrupt practices at the Mombasa Law Courts was developed and submitted
to the Judiciary for implementation.
36
Under public education, the Commission carried out: county based outreach clinics;
training of public officers within the framework of performance contracting; development
and dissemination of IEC materials; mainstreaming anti-corruption content in formal
education system; promotion of integrity clubs in schools; and training of various interest
groups in the education sector and civil society among others.
i) County Anti-Corruption Outreach Programme
The Commission undertook public outreach programme in Lamu, Nyamira and West Pokot
Counties. The purpose of this programme was to educate the public on the dangers of
corruption and enlist their support in the fight against corruption and unethical practice.
Through this programme, the Commission reached over 600,000 people directly and
through media. In addition, 55 corruption reports were received and 100,000 IEC
materials disseminated. The outreach programme culminated in a public baraza where
the county governments committed to and signed an Anti-Corruption Action Plan for
implementation.

the curriculum review process to consider mainstreaming anti-corruption content into the
formal education system.
In addition, the Commission sponsored the anti-corruption category of 2013 Drama

were trained as part of the Community Based Anti-Corruption Monitors programme. The
purpose is to empower them with skills to participate in the fight against corruption and
unethical practices at the County levels.
vii) Training of Integrity Assurance Officers and CPCs
The Commission trained 90 Integrity Assurance Officers (IAOs) and 499 members of
Corruption Prevention Committees (CPCs) as indicated in Table 18 and 19 respectively.

Chapter 9:
Challenges
9.1 Introduction
The Commission was faced with various challenges including constraints on policy and
legal framework, inadequate human resource capacity, inadequate presence in all regions
of Kenya and a slow adjudication of cases.
The lack of a national ethics and anti-corruption policy to guide the fight against corruption
affects the efficient and effective implementation of anti-corruption initiatives. The
Government through the Attorney General and the Department of Justice, the national
Treasury, the Commission and other key stakeholders, is spearheading the development
of the National Ethics and Anticorruption Policy. In addition, proposals have been made
to strengthen the anti-corruption legal framework.
Limited human resource capacity and forensic capabilities curtailed the Commission from
fully discharging its mandate of fighting corruption and promoting ethics. The Commission
will continue to development the requisite capacity to implement its mandate.

welcome this opportunity to endorse another year of great strides by the Commission,
as outlined in this report. In exercise of the mandate conferred to the Commission by
the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya and the enabling statutes, the Commission
has continued to discharge its mandate without relenting.
During this reporting period the Commission concluded the Job Evaluation exercise
and implementation of the same is underway. The Commission also developed its first
Strategic Plan for the period 2013-2018. The strategic goals during this period will be:
To prevent and combat the occurrence of corruption, economic crime and unethical
conduct; to trace, recover and restitute corruptly acquired assets; to foster a culture of
intolerance to corruption and unethical practices
Under the auspices of the Kenya Leadership and Integrity Forum (KLIF) which brings
together a total of fourteen (14) stakeholders from the public, private, civil society
and religious sectors in Kenya, the Commission is involved in the development and
implementation of the Kenya Integrity Plan (KIP). The Commission in conjunction with
the Office of the Attorney General is also involved in the development of the National
Anti-Corruption Policy.
The Commission is in the process of establishing additional offices across the country
to enable citizens at the county level be involved in the fight against corruption. This is
in line with the provisions of the Constitution regarding public participation. In addition,
the Commission has entered into partnerships with a number of institutions through
Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) to strengthen the resolve to fight corruption.
Within the East African region, the Commission is actively involved in the activities of
the East African Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA). The association is
important in enhancing cooperation, mutual assistance and information sharing aimed at
combating corruption within the region.
On behalf of the Commission, I would like to thank the Management and all members
of staff for yet another successful year. We appreciate the dedication, professionalism,
integrity and the courage with which they perform their tasks. I would also like to thank
my fellow Commissioners for their commitment to the work of the Commission. Our
vision is a Corruption free Kenyan society that upholds integrity and the rule of law. I,
therefore, call upon all Kenyans and stakeholders to individually and collectively make a
conscious decision not to participate in or tolerate corruption in any of its manifestations.
Let us partner with the Commission in its endeavor to prevent and combat corruption in
the country.
Thank you

he Commission has the pleasure to present this annual report for the financial
year 2013/2014, which is the second report since it took over from the Kenya AntiCorruption Commission following the changes in the anti-corruption institutional
framework introduced by the promulgation of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission
Act in 2011. Those changes necessitated a transition process which the Commission was
engaged in for the better part of the last reporting period. It is my pleasure to state that
most of the transitional challenges that faced the Commission then have been addressed,
and the Commission is now fully and firmly focused on delivering on its mandate as a
fully established entity.
The Commission draws its mandate from a multitude of laws. Foremost in the legal
framework is the Constitution of Kenya, especially Chapter six on leadership and integrity.
Several laws have been enacted in implementing the requirements of the constitution, and
these include the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2011 and the Leadership
and Integrity Act, 2012. The Commission also enforces the Anti-Corruption and Economic
Crimes Act, which is the principle law that provides for the investigations, prosecution and
adjudication of corruption and economic crime offences in Kenya. Over and above these
laws, the Commission also derives partial mandate in other pieces of legislation such as
the Public Officer Ethics Act, the Public Procurement and Disposal Act and regulations,
among others. Apart from the hitherto known mandate of combating and preventing
corruption, which is what most members of the public associate the Commission with, it
was also endowed with the wider function of mainstreaming ethics and integrity in both
the public and private sector, as required under chapter six of the Constitution.
This wide mandate ensured the need for scaling up of Commission programmes and
activities, which is reflected in the contents of this report. Of essence was the need to
ensure that the Commission services were scaled to the County governments following
the adoption of the devolved system of government in 2013. The report is also issued in
the backdrop of the just launched Commissions Strategic Plan 2013-2018, an ambitious
and goal-oriented plan through which the Commission intends to steer its strategic
direction and focus in the course of the next five years. Since the launch, the Commission
has rolled out on a high scale programmes and activities towards implementation of the
plan objectives, from which major achievements have been realized. These are provided
in detail in this report.
The report period also coincided with another important activity in the country which
is expected to have far reaching ramifications on anti-corruption initiatives, namely the
review of Kenya on implementation of its obligations under the United Nations Convention
against Corruption. The UNCAC is the main international convention which addresses all
matters to do with corruption and has the highest membership among states of any
other convention on corruption. It is significant that Kenya was the first country to both
sign and ratify the convention in 2003, hence the review is timely in order to identify
measures which need to be taken at the country level in order to ensure full compliance
with the Convention objectives.
69
I am happy to report that the Commission has continued to receive support from all our
stakeholders, especially the government of the Republic of Kenya which has granted us
immense support. The budgetary allocation to the Commission during the period; and
the continued promise of support from the government in future is a clear indication that
the government is firmly committed to the entrenchment of accountability and the fight
against corruption. We have also witnessed increased collaboration and cooperation from
our development partners who have continuously dedicated resources for some of the
Commissions programmes and activities.
I wish to thank the Commission and all members of staff for their dedication and
commitment towards achievements of the Commission goals and objectives during the
period. Despite the occasional challenges that the Commission has had to grapple with
over time, our staff have remained resilient and focused in the performance of their
duties, no doubt guided by the Commissions core values of integrity, professionalism,
fidelity to the law, courage, teamwork and innovation. As the Commission embarks on
implementing programmes for the next reporting year, I encourage all of us to maintain
that spirit. Together, we shall achieve more.
Thank you,

The commission operations and financial responsibilities are overseen by the Chief
Executive Officer. The operations are guided by an approved annual budget that is based
on programs whose performance is monitored through outputs and outcomes. The
budget is informed by detailed work plans that translate in to annual procurement plans.
The commission has put in place the following standing committees for oversight purposes;
Finance and Planning Committee, Risk and Audit Committee, Operations Committee
and Human Resource and Training Committee. These committees are comprised of the
commissioners and independent representatives co-opted from various directorates. In
addition an internal audit department charged with continuous review of systems of
internal controls and overall risk management is in place.
Operational performance is monitored on a monthly basis through periodic financial
reporting of actual expenditure versus budget performance which provides feedback to
user departments on appropriate action plans. Quarterly financial statements are also
produced to facilitate continuous evaluation of the overall financial performance of the
commission. The commission prepares annual statutory financial statements which are
audited by the Kenya National Audit Office (KENAO) who certifies them before inclusion
in the annual report.
The EACCs corporate social responsibility is based on the fact that, as part of the Kenyan
society, we have responsibilities that go beyond our legal obligations for the benefit of
the society at large. Our corporate social responsibility entails community engagement,
supporting community activities, responding to emerging challenges, donating to
charities, helping the needy and application of ethical conduct and participating in matters
of topical national interest in Kenya. Our CSR strategy involves building relationships
and partnerships and working together with organizations that we believe advance the
wellbeing of Kenyans. The EACCs CSR decisions are made not only in the best interest
of the Commission but also that of our society.
The commissioners submit their report together with the audited financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2014 which show the state of the Commissions affairs.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Commission are to investigate corruption and economic
crimes, recover lost public property and obtain compensation for damaged public
property, prevent corruption, conduct public education on the dangers of corruption and
promote ethics and integrity.
Results
The results of the entity for the year ended June 30, 2014 are set out on page 76 to 93.
Directors
The members of the Commission who served during the year are shown on page 67 in
accordance with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act, 2011.

The Commissions Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with and
comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The financial
statements are presented in Kenya shillings, which is the functional and reporting
currency of the entity. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the
years presented.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, unless
stated otherwise. The Cash Flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. The
Financial Statements are prepared on accrual basis.
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Revenue recognition
i)
Revenue from non-exchange transactions IPSAS 23
Income is recognized in the period in which it is received. Government and donor funding
is only recognized on receipt. Income is not accrued if its recoverability is considered
doubtful.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate
method.
ii)
Transfers from other government entities
Revenues from non-exchange transactions with other government entities are measured
at fair value and recognized on obtaining control of the asset (cash, goods, services
and property) if the transfer is free from conditions and it is probable that the economic
benefits or service potential related to the asset will flow to the entity and can be
measured reliably.
iii)
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods and when
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic
benefits or service potential associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.
iv)
Interest income
Interest income is accrued using the effective yield method. The effective yield discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that
assets net carrying amount. The method applies this yield to the principal outstanding to
determine interest income each period.
81
The annual budget is prepared on the accrual basis, that is, all planned costs and income
are presented in a single statement to determine the needs of the entity. As a result
of the adoption of the accrual basis for budgeting purposes, there are no basis, timing
or entity differences that would require reconciliation between the actual comparable
amounts and the amounts presented as a separate additional financial statement in the
statement of comparison of budget and actual amounts.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The
carrying amount includes the replacement cost of components of an existing investment
property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes
the costs of day-to-day maintenance of an investment property.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when
the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefit or service potential is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the surplus or
deficit in the period of de-recognition. Transfers are made to or from investment property
only when there is a change in use.
All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition
of the items. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be
replaced at intervals, the Commission recognizes such parts as individual assets with
specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection
is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as
a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance
costs are recognized in surplus or deficit as incurred. Where an asset is acquired in a
non-exchange transaction for nil or nominal consideration the asset is initially measured
at its fair value.
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognized at cost. The cost of
intangible assets acquired in a non-exchange transaction is their fair value at the date
of the exchange. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less
any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful life of the
intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite.
82
i) The technical feasibility of completing the asset so that the asset will be
available for use or sale
ii) Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset
iii) How the asset will generate future economic benefits or service potential
g) Inventories IPSAS 12
Inventory is measured at cost upon initial recognition. To the extent that inventory was
received through non-exchange transactions (for no cost or for a nominal cost), the cost
of the inventory is its fair value at the date of acquisition.
After initial recognition, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. However, to the extent that a class of inventory is distributed or deployed at no
charge or for a nominal charge, that class of inventory is measured at the lower of cost
and current replacement cost.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of operations,
less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale, exchange, or distribution.
Inventories are recognized as an expense when deployed for utilization or consumption
in the ordinary course of operations of the Entity.
h) Provisions IPSAS 19
Provisions are recognized when the Commission has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Commission expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,
under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the statement of financial performance net of any reimbursement.
83
Contingent liabilities
The Commission does not recognize a contingent liability, but discloses details of any
contingencies in the notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential is remote.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, short-term deposits
on call and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less,
which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant
risk of changes in value. Bank account balances include amounts held at the Central Bank
of Kenya and at various commercial banks at the end of the financial year.
k) Comparative figures
Where necessary comparative figures for the previous financial year have been amended
or reconfigured to conform to the required changes in presentation.
84
n) Subsequent events
There have been no events subsequent to the financial year with significant impact in the
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.

18 Contingency Liabilities
The Commission has given no guarantees to third parties. In the ordinary course of
business, the Commission has been sued in various cases with potential exposure estimated
at Kshs. 349 million. The Commission is a defendant or co-defendant in various litigations
and claims. The outcomes of these litigations and claims are yet to be determined; hence
the Commission has not made any provisions in these accounts towards contingent
liabilities.
